Hi, again! It's Mokonnna here with my 2nd fic. Well, I don't own any of the characters mentioned bellow (it's belong to CLAMP)nor the song (it's Lea Salonga's). Special thanks to those who support me to write this fic: my beta reader and Ishari and of course thanks to those who read this fic and review.
So, here we go...
Chapter 1 : When Fai is daydreaming
And it's not just wishful thinking
Or only me who's dreaming
I know what these are symptoms of…
The song was ringing over and over again in his head; yet Fai couldn't remember the whole song. He didn't even recall in which world that song came from. All that he remembered was the fragment of the song, actually the end of the song. When he was alone, he always wondered what kind of symptoms the singer has.
He always thought about Kurogane when it comes to love. But he can't actually relate him to any kind of love because he didn't even know how the ninja feels about him. Sometimes when they were alone, he seemed to pay too much attention on him thus will make him feel loved. Some other times, the ninja will push him away because a "playful" name he gave him.
'Fai-san, ummm, the pancake is burnt' said Sakura between her cough.
'Nnngggg, ah, s-s-sorry, I was just daydreaming and suddenly…' answered Fai as he was trying to remove the burnt pancake out of the pan.
'Oi, what were you thinking, mage. If you don't hurry with that hell-sweet-breakfast me and the kid will be better to skip our breakfast, or we'll be late.' grumbled the ninja.
'Skipping meals is no good, Kuro-daddy, especially because Big Doggie and Little Doggie will work hard today. Now here you are, pancake for our little doggie and omelette for Kuro-daddy…' said Fai rather cheerfully handing over two plates to the other men.
'Fai-mommy, I want one plate like Syaoran's and one like Kuro-daddy's!' said Mokona hopping to the mage's back.
'Oi, you two, stop calling me Dog or Daddy, I am Kurogane!' growled the ninja.
'Did you hear something, Mokona?' asked Fai playfully.
'Nope, nothing at all!'
'Just watch you two, I'll make sure that once this curse is released you'll lose your life' said the ninja throwing a dangerous look to the White manjuu and the mage.
'It's scary, Kurogane-san. Please stop' said the princess. It's quite right to say that the only person who was able to stop the fierce look in the Daddy's figure of the family's face is only Sakura. Her innocence made everybody feel guilty to scare her, even Kurogane himself. He was secretly willing to risk his head to protect the girl, the source of happiness in the group. He loved her as he should love his own daughter, and actually deep down in his heart he felt responsible of the rest of the family member. Yes, he accepted to be the father figure, it's just that he hates to admit that.
'Sorry. Hey, kid, we should start the practice now, shouldn't we?'
'Yes, Kurogane-san. Anyway, I have finished my breakfast, thank you Fai-san' answered Syaoran.
'You're always welcome, my dear son, now of you go.'
'Syaoran-kun, please don't get hurt, okay' asked Sakura while clutching the young boy's arm.
'I won't, take care' as Syaoran sent Sakura his most assuring smile to his beloved princess.
So Syaoran and Kurogane left their rented small house, heading to a forest near their new home. Leaving Sakura, Fai, and Mokona together at home.
'Be still my heart, lately its mind is on it's own
It would go far and wide
Just to be near you' suddenly Fai recalled the first part of song. He didn't even know why suddenly he recalls that part.
'What is it, Fai-san? You look like thinking about something' asked Sakura with the worried look plastered on her pretty face.
'Eh, I guess I was daydreaming again, well let's go shopping then, Princess. We got to prepare for dinner for the doggie duo'
'Yeah, let's go'
Mokonnna : How was that? Ummm, well, I have one question. Is the "Fai-spacing-out" thing out of character? Anyway, next time it'd be Kurogane's turn. See you on the next chapter! X D
